¶ Midi Key
Category: 🔗 Connectors
¶ Description
Bridges a single MIDI note between Patchworld and an external MIDI app (e.g. a DAW). Sends Note On/Off out when its inputs fire, and emits jolts when the host plays the matching note.
Pick the MIDI channel, note name, and octave in the inspector (or set the note dynamically via the 'Note' jolt input, which accepts a MIDI note number 0-127). The 'Note On' input sends a Note On message with the jolt value as velocity; 'Note Off' sends a Note Off. Conversely, when the host plays the configured note, the matching outputs emit the velocity. Enable 'Send only note on' in the inspector to hide the Note Off output if you don't need release events.
